Why doesn't it look awesome? The three up top interchanging, plenty of creativity in the midfield. Not perfect but a million miles better than the rubbish we've seen in the last year.

 

Aye but I wouldn't label anything that's potentially better than our recent mess "awesome". There's no dynamic in that front three. Neither Gomis nor Cisse are able to do a job out wide. Both are central strikers who thrive off good service. I'd rather have Gouffran than Gomis out wide.

Gomis would be even worse than Cisse at RW imo. The fact he was caught offside more than Cisse last season should tell you the type of plaer he is (target man, on the shoulder of the defence) rather than a player who is comfortable with the ball at his feet with a range of passing like Remy (who would be fine wide, but still not his best position)

 

Also if your three man midfield was a flat 3 Ben Arfa would get exposed defensively pretty frequently.

 

Good on paper though!

If you were the opposition you'd be shitting yourself if you had to go up against that front 6 man. Cabaye, Sissoko, HBA, Remy, Gomis and Cisse? Would be hilarious and brilliant to even see man.

Aye if we had a decent manager to make something like that happen. We'll still play volleyball over the midfield this season man, it'll be the same as long as Pardew is here. Last season it was 'front foot football' or some other bullshit and look how that turned out? Seemingly worse than his first half season here.

The opposition would be rubbing their hands at the prospect of free access to our back four. 50% of the job of the midfield is to defend, and of the three in there, two can't defend at all and the other one seems more comfortable going forward. They'd also get very little help from the three in front of them.

 

There's a good article in the Wish I Was A Geordie website about how the problem with our midfield is as much the balance as the individual players. We don't seem to have it at the moment.

I sort of agree but also think a lot of hte problem has been a very deep defence combined with a midfield that wants to be high up, giving other teams acres of space in between the lines and to run at our defenders at pace. Mbiwa ideally will allow us to run a higher defensive line so we can play a pressing game.

 

Of course that's probably not Pardew's thoughts  :lol:

So why did you ask? Was it just so you could insult Neesy for rightfully being tired of your repetitive patter?

Gomis At NEWCASTLE CAN BE ACCELERATED. Reportedly, Newcastle is preparing to make an offer of € 8,000,000 excluding bonuses at Olympique Lyonnais Bafetimbi Gomis. The Rhone president Jean-Michel Aulas seems determined to move quickly on this issue, which could even be set today.

He really doesn't!

 

Anyway, hope that's right, would be a big boost.
